Overview

Pathophysiology

The cavernous sinus which is a true dural venous sinus, is irregularly shaped, trabeculated cavities in the base of the skull.[1][2][3]

The cavernous sinus receives blood via the superior and inferior ophthalmic veins through the:[1][4][2][3]

Cavernous sinus is connected to the basilar plexus of veins posteriorly.

There are some important nerves and arteries pass through the cavernous sinus, include:[4][2][3]

Infection from the face may reach the cavernous sinus through its many anastomotic connections, with severe consequences. The cavernous sinus drains by two larger channels, the superior and inferior petrosal sinuses, ultimately into the internal jugular vein via the sigmoid sinus, also draining with emissary vein to pterygoid plexus. These sinuses are just lateral and superior to the sphenoid sinus and are immediately posterior to the optic chiasm. Each cavernous sinus is formed between layers of the dura mater, and multiple connections exist between the 2 sinuses.[3][5]

Pathogenesis

  • In cavernous sinus thrombosis, a blood clot develops in the sinus cavernous structure to prevent the infection from spreading to brain, but it often blocks the blood flow out of the brain.[6][5]
